John Addis (Hi!) does your area of expertise extend as far as Patricio & the houses of Tyn y Llwyn (& Tyn y Pant - now a ruin)? I am at present writing up years of research & am familiar with the work of Pam Redwood published in Brycheiniog. Her interest was the house whereas I am a direct descent of the Powells (John & Ann, mid 1800s) via a well documented illegitimate birth in 1846.

I understand my Grandma and Great Aunts were born in Crickhowell, and that the family was connected with a wharf on the river. Grandma was called Windass before marriage and her family was Trew. I would be grateful for any information please. Thank you.

Does anyone have any information about Sir William Latham, said by Cadw to have built Latham House around 1709?

My wife's grandfather was George Whitney a blacksmith in the late 1800s and a resident of Crickhowell. There is a family story of George making some of the railings for Hyde Park in London. Can anyone tell me if this is really the case?

Do you know who I could contact in respect of finding births, deaths and marriages for the Chapels in Crickhowell/Llanelly.Thank you

I'm trying to acquire a copy of your book but am unsure if it is a single volume or two complementary volumes published in 1992 and 1996 respectively. I'd be grateful for your advice.

The Hermitage was an old shooting lodge for an estate, and was once owned by a gentleman called Macnamara who had his lover living there he used to ride from Hay on Wye over the moutain to meet her. The site is now ruins, the troops stayed at a farm called Tal-y-Maes further up the valley,the 4th. London Infanry Brigade were there and prisoners of war photos in Crickhowell Yesterday.

I love this site! There is so much information. I would have chosen to have some pictures of the houses from the 1900s but it's not up to me what this site has on it.
